“Literally a hidden gem since no one really talks or post about it on social media. Spontaneously walked into TAKI Japanese Cuisine for dinner one weekend, and we were so thankful that they were able to take the 2 of us in for omakase dinner at the bar!

They took over the same space as Rin Sushi with the same decor and same layout. The waitresses who served us that evening wore traditional Japanese kimonos; the chef and staff all spoke in Japanese. Food and service were amazing!

We opt in for the Sakura Sushi Omakase Course (160)
- Appetizer
- Osumasi Soup
- 5pcs Sashimi
- Mushimono
- 8 pcs Sushi (the uni was amazing!)
- Tamago w/ anago
- Negitoro Handroll
- Matcha Mousse Dessert

They have an omakase promo right now for 95/pp, which imo is a pretty good deal for the quality and experience! I am actually excited to come back and check out the Sukiyaki dinner for 2 people (U.S. Angus & Japan Wagyu beef) for next time!“

“Very welcoming staff, respectful and professional.
The food was excellent with generous portion of fish and the price are very fair. Seating space is limited if you are a large group though.
This is a very nice sushi restaurant, I highly recommend it.“

“A surprisingly legendary AYCE sushi restaurant up in Woodbridge.

Came here with my friends on a weeknight for the all you can eat option. Total ended up being around 40 dollars per person with cash discount.

Sushi and sashimi quality were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh, and my favorites were definitely the hug roll and the salmon sashimi.

I'm not sure if it was because the restaurant wasn't super busy or something, but the food just kept COMING. One of the only places that won't rate limit you either. If you order 40 pieces of sashimi, you're getting 40 pieces.

If I was ever in the area and wanted sushi, I'd definitely come back. I'm really hoping this experience wasn't just a one-time thing -- super rare to find gold standard AYCE sushi!“

“Great ambience, friendly staff and tasty food. Really love the beef tataki , beef tartare and salmon tartare. Ingredients are very fresh. Love the mentaiko Caesar salad; tasty and fresh. Will definitely try other selections on the menu next time.“

“Ordered takeout from this place on a weekday. The resto occupies the spot that Apron Cafe used to sit in.

My order was ready in 15-20 min. Walked in and was greeted warmly by the hostess who handed me my food.

I ordered a yuzu miso pork loin and an okonomiyaki.

The pork was crispy and juicy. The miso sauce was great! I get very similar vibes between this place and Katsuya. The menus also look VERY similar.

Okonomiyaki was tasty as well. I liked the fresh salad on top.

Overall, food quality was excellent! I do think it was quite pricey though for the quantity of food. Prolly wouldn't be a regular because of the price.

Will return to try some of their other katsu flavours!“

“This is best a la carte Sushi restaurant in Newmarket.“

“We came here for Sunday lunch and chose their AYCE option. Their grilled options were delicious and easily some of the best AYCE options I've ever had. Their dessert options were made in house and very tasty. They also have very attentive and friendly staff. Our server (I think also the owner), kept trying to convince us to eat more food and we just couldn't anymore, definitely the first time experiencing this at an AYCE place. would eat here again“

“I sat down to eat here and everything was amazing from the customer service to the food. Its very well made and looks professional, good amount of food I got for the portion. I will be coming back and I highly recommend this place especially if your sitting in to eat.“

“Nice food.“

“Kibo Sushi is a hidden gem! The quality of the fish is outstanding, and the menu has a great variety of creative rolls. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a date night or casual dinner. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!“

“Stopped in for a delicious snack and was treated to a 5 star feast worthy of a king ! Initially i wasn’t sure what to get but Steven walked me through the process and took time to explain everything in great detail. What great customer service and food that is second to none. Will be back !“

“I was greeted immediately as I walked through the door. I felt very welcome I’m comfortable. They brought my food to where I was sitting and even asked if I would like a glass of water. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. I will definitely be back! Thanks again for the wonderful experience😊“

“First time here and it will not be last. Food and service is excellent!“

“The most delicious rice balls, I have ever eaten and I am a foodie and Japanese Canadian. The rice was cooked perfectly and the filling was delicious and plentiful. A delicious lunch. I think I will pick up a few more for my trip today. The owner was super nice and encouraged me to stay and work on my laptop for a few hours.“

“It is really delicious and fresh, we ordered spicy tuna, Filadelfia rolls and Tropicana rolls. Also the staff members were friendly and answered questions about the menu.

Vegetarian options: The menu includes vegetarian dishes.“

“This is the best sushi spot in Vaughan! I’m a regular customer and I’ve been eating here for years now. The owner is super friendly and always greets you with a smile. Feels like home every time I visit.

The sushi and sashimi are always fresh and they package the sushi in cute little boxes! Would highly recommend the sushi sets“

“Very nice sushi place. Great food - I had the two dragon bento and it was very tasty. Came with green tea and miso soup. Big portion at a reasonable price. Great service as well, waiter was professional and kind.
Note that the restaurant is on the street side of the building, not in the plaza itself, makes it harder to find when you’re not familiar with the area.“

“i regret not finding out this place sooner! my boys and I came back from snow tubing and we were starving and craving for sushi. i remember someone mentioning about this place and since we only live 15 minutes away, we decided to give it a try! we ordered the salmon combo (the one with the maki, nigiri and sashimi) and some other rolls but the lady owner was super kind and attentive that she stopped me at two rolls saying that that may be enough for the three of us! i thought so too but little did i know my boys and I enjoyed their food so much that we ended up ordering a few more rolls! i also asked if we’d only get one soup because we only ordered one combo but the lady owner was super sweet and offered two more on the house! (i was so thankful because it was such a very cold and snowy day!)

the restaurant is clean and the layout is simple yet the place is very inviting, and the ladies there were very friendly! i asked my sons how they enjoyed it and they said they would definitely come again!“

“It is nice small sushi joint. Service is good. Front ladies are nice.4 star because of rice they are using is not sushi rice. If you look closely, their rice grain is long as opposed to short rice grain. Also rice used for sushi is not fresh --> dry, little hardPrice is ok.“

“We ordered via UberEats. We have been to this location in person before and knew that the food was excellent there.
We ordered four different ramen bowls. An unpleasant surprise this time was that the dishes came in unlabeled containers, so we had a hard time attributing which bowl was what (while being very hungry). I hope the restaurant will start labelling the dishes, at least with the names abbreviated.“

“Best sushi place around must go“

“The quality of the food at this restaurant is well beyond anything you would expect in the suburbs. The fish tastes fresh and the rice is high quality sushi rice. Generally you have to head to downtown to get sushi/sashimi that tastes this good.
The service is suburb, they actually make you feel like you matter and that you are at a friends house.
Finally, for the quality of the food the prices are more than reasonable.
I also like that I can get Soju at this restaurant as I prefer it with sushi to Sake.
I can recommend Akane without reservation.“

“Had dinner here today. They take reservations! Our server was lovely. She was friendly and attentive and helpful.
I ordered two massive rolls. Each piece was huge. I either, stuffed the whole thing in my mouth and chewed while looking like a hamster or took 1 bite first and everything else just fell all over the place lol. Not a complaint though!
Both my rolls were yum. I was very happy with my food. Their miso soup is good too. Hubby ordered one roll and ate some of mine. I left feeling satisfied!
The only small complaint are the greasy floors to the washroom. I had to walk carefully so I wouldnt slip. Also, the front door could use some cleaning.“

“Best place for ramen!! Staff is friendly and food is fantastic 👍🏻❤️“

“Always a treat to come here. I have had their lunch special before work. The platter orders are great, and in a timely manner. One of my favourite sushi places to go. The stuff are great. The diner takes you back a decade in decor; it adds charm to stopping in.“

“Awesome place. I haven't had celiac friendly sushi for a very long time. I am very sensitive and get really sick if I eat any gluten or even something cross-contaminated. Tomo Japanese Restaurant was a great experience in terms of food, service, atmosphere, and above all safety for me and my son. People with Celiac and NCGS, Tomo is a really nice place with safe gluten-free food, highly recommended. :)“

“This Minami location has always made the most delicious sushi for our family over the years and is very careful re: cross contamination with gluten. Adding extra GF soy sauce to our orders is a thoughtful touch. And the maki are always very generously sized! The family that run this business are always extremely kind and warm and thoughtful. We so appreciate you!“

“One of the best sushi places hands down. The quality here is probably the best we’ve ever had in the GTA for this price point. Frequently come back here to dine in or order take out when we are looking for good quality sushi that hits the spot!“

“I love this restaurant! When we are in town we make a point to visit it. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. This time we tried the new thing we tried was bulgogi gyoza and it was fantastic! You will not be disappointed!!“

“Location with lots of parking Friendly staff Don’t miss out on great Japanese cuisine.“

“The best sushi restaurant I have ever been to and I am from Vancouver, extensive traveler, dedicated foodie and of Japanese heritage. I am still dreaming of my dinner If you want All you can eat, this is not your restaurant, this is for a wonderful authentic, dining experience that you won't forget. Enjoy!“

“This review deserves to a be a lot higher. The low reviews confuse me, maybe there are quality issues in off or later hours but this lunch is delicious. Fresh veggies, lots of protein and smothered in their awesome sauce just how I remember it. Is it a little pricier? Sure compared to like McDonalds, but the food makes you feel good and fills you up in the right way. I get the Hot and Spicy chicken with extra chicken. I have convinced my boss recently to take our entire team here and everyone has had a pleasant experience.

Just keep in mind, the ordering is a fairly quick process so know what you want, your protein, sauces and add ons. I always double the protein.

Things can get a little expensive, again compared to what. It is all expensive and this is cheap for the big bowl you get. Lunch has a busy in and out crowd which seems to be consistent. Pumps with work life and energy during the week. Overall a solid 5.

I miss the teriyaki of old. they all seem to be one-off restos with a disjointed corporate franchise focus. They are EXTREMELY inconsistent location by location. (the corporation I mean.)“

“Friendly service.Ordered couple times for work events and social events.Price is amazing and the food is great.The new owners have added items on the menu you should try.

Kid-friendliness: Udon and Don-katsu is great selection for kids. As it is located in a foodcourt, lots of other selection for kids as well.

Parking: Located in a plaza with lots of parking.“

“Hot, delicious, fresh food! Come with a hearty appetite since it’s all you can eat!!“

“This ramen shop is in a highly competitive area! I know what I am getting whenever to go to Kinton Ramen. So this place more than satisfied my tastebuds. I sortta would have told them to hold off the dressing on my dumplings. But other than that all is good in Ramen world.“

“Casual, cozy place, not extremely busy, good food and great service.“

“This is a great little sushi place on the corner of Yonge and Wellington! It has such a nice/unique atmosphere, the people working there are so friendly, and the sushi itself is amazing. I would 100% go back there again. As a note, we ate half the sushi before I took the picture.“

“The restaurant, service and food at this restaurant was good. However the only downside is that the customers are literally asked to pay a tip. During this difficult period of the pandemic, it is hard to leave a tip. It should be optional but if you do not tip, you are sort of asked "why no tip". This becomes odd and the customer should be given the discretion to tip. This is the reason, I am giving 4 stars to this restaurant.“

“Great sushi in a restful minimalist setting. Service can be slow. Great lunch option.“

“Having my New Year Eve dinner. Very good quality and experience. So good and yummy 😋“

“They have delicious sushi and chicken teriyaki dishes at a fair price. The service is very friendly, and the food is very fresh. I really like the lunch specials. Give this place a try if you are in the area.

Parking: Plenty of free parking. They are located in the No Frills Plaza and near Dollarama.

Kid-friendliness: friendly family place

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair accessibility.“

“I've heard that you can judge a Japanese restaurant by their miso soup and it's very true here. I think they may be the only place around that adds a touch of sake to miso soup, enhancing the flavour. Their kalbi steak don and chicken mayo don were excellent. Sashimi portions were good, not too thinly sliced and fresh. I'll be coming back.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Sparkly Restaurant, a Japanese-Thai all-you-can-eat spot, thanks to a thoughtful gift certificate from one of my coworkers, a nurse at the hospital. It was my first time trying this place, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of dishes that were fresh and full of flavor. The sushi was beautifully presented, the Thai curries were perfectly spiced, and the appetizers were a great start to the meal. The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and efficient, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I truly enjoyed every aspect of my visit and would highly recommend Sparkly Restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of Japanese or Thai cuisine, this place has something for everyone. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Very delicious udon and great value for their portions! I always have to get their Niku tama Udon and add the Kakiage (beef udon w/hot spring egg and fried vegetable fritter.) The chicken karaage and korokke are my go-to appetizers as well.“

“yummy“

“Incredible experience at Sushi Land!
This was my second visit, and once again, everything was absolutely amazing. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices are surprisingly affordable for the quality you get.

The staff were so polite and welcoming, which really added to the overall experience. One of the best touches is that with every sushi order, they serve a complimentary miso soup — and it’s genuinely delicious! They also bring you a pot of green tea with your meal, which just makes everything feel even more thoughtful and complete.

I highly recommend trying the Alaska roll — it was a standout! Honestly, this is some of the best sushi I’ve had in recent times, and I’ll definitely be coming back again. Sushi Land has earned a solid spot on my favorites list!“

“I came here with my brother because we wanted some sushi for dinner. We found this spot , and came over.

We ordered a lot of sushi, okonomiyaki, and some kaarage. For the sushi, we had Maguro Tuna, Hirame, Amaebi, Unagi, Hamachi, salmon, amd spicy salmon rolls. The sushi was a bit on the pricier end, but they were all very delicious!“

“Love this place! The sushi was super fresh and tasty — especially the rolls and sashimi. We also had a few Korean dishes, and they were just as good. Staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome. Portions were generous and everything came out quickly. Definitely coming back!“
